TEHRAN, Sept 25 (ICANA) – Head of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi says that US reaction to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks concerning the need for an impartial probe of the 9/11 attacks, strengthens the theory that the terror incident was fabricated.

“In his address Mr. Ahmadinejad said there were ambiguities about 9/11 and requested a truth-finding committee to investigate the incident,” Boroujerdi said on Saturday.

“This would have been a measure in line with defending the rights of nations including the American nation,” Fars News Agency quoted the Iranian lawmaker as saying.

Delivering an address to the UN General Assembly's 66th annual session in New York on Thursday, Ahmadinejad said the US government was involved in the 9/11 attacks or allowed them to happen “to reverse the declining American economy” and find an excuse to wage the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Representatives from the US and some of its allies walked out in reaction to Ahmadinejad's speech.

US President Barack Obama criticized the Iranian president for his remarks on the 9/11 attacks on Friday, describing them as “offensive” and “hateful.”

Boroujerdi argued that as the 9/11 incident has affected other countries and nations, the UN must investigate the issue and inform all nations of its findings.

“It is the right of the international community to know the truth about the September 11 incident, because the US, using this pretext, attacked countries in the Middle East region and brought death and destruction to many people,” he added.

Boroujerdi called on the US Congress to help set up a truth-finding committee to help resolve the ambiguities in the 9/11 incident.
